Hey, it’s a ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ teaser poster

And by teaser poster we mean it doesn’t show much. And yet that scratched up, far from red, white and blue vibranium shield still speaks volumes. And you know what it’s saying? Mostly that “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is sure to pit Cap/Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) against his most dangerous and personal foe to date: his old World War II buddy Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) thawed out in the present as the titular Winter Soldier, a brainwashed assassin with a bionic-arm and Tom Cruise’s hair from the better “Mission: Impossible” films. Yep, all that from a jacked-up shield.

We comic book fans still remember Winter Soldier best from writer Ed Brubaker’s lauded run on the “Captain America” comic that ran from the January 2005 issue to last year. Brubaker worked plenty of espionage into that riveting saga, which covered everything from the classic, Cosmic Cube-coveting machinations of the Red Skull to your more contemporary socioeconomic commentary. All with Cap’s other BFF the Falcon at his best, to boot. Good times.

As Marvel pointed out in its poster-revealing post, we’ll hear more about “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” next week from Comic-Con, hopefully with a teaser trailer that we won’t have to scour online bootlegs for to enjoy. In any case, expect that mighty thrashed shield to fly into theaters April 4, 2014.
